Voodoo Priestess

Fan art of Mz Ruby from Sly Cooper and the Thievius Raccoonus! Done for the SlyGolds Events speedrunning community art contest! I originally joked I was gonna make a pinup of Mz Ruby for giggles cause my lady deserves only the BEST. Her boss fight was my FAV as a kid! I would replay it over and over again. Love her~ I'm very happy with the lighting on this!

"Mz Ruby slapping her belly after she kills you in her boss fight is the cutest thing."

Mz. Ruby is a recurring antagonist in the Sly Cooper series and is a priestess who serves as the chief mystic and only female member of the Fiendish Five. She grew up lonely as a child due to other children fearing her, and taught herself how to summon the undead so she could have playmates. She grew up angry and bitter at the world due to her loneliness, becoming so vengeful that she decided to use her mystic powers for crime instead, so that all would fear her. She even once desired to try and conquer Mexico with her ghouls.

Ruby is cruel and has an eccentric, sadistic sense of humor, but she's still childish in some ways, enjoying games like Simon Says, showing how she never really got over not having other kids to play with. She joined the Fiendish Five with the hope of making some actual friends. She also shows a bit of a maternal side to the spirits she summons. Along with being able to fight with her spirits, she can also teleport and crush those who get too close with her big tail.

Mz Ruby portrait ~ 🔮

I've been manually archiving my Tumblr blog for the past week because of Current Events and forgot that Mz. Ruby from Sly Cooper used to be one of my random benchmarks for improvement. Figured it was time to add to the sequence!
